I could do without the lengthy scenes of sexualized violence, and the Chromatics are in no way peers to Julee Cruise, but otherwise, I loved it too.

“But - my hungry guys -”

Thanks for the Paul F. Tompkins .gif. I love that dapper guy.

Holly Hunter played Billie Jean King in a decent movie from 2001, “When Billie Beat Bobby.” It’s worth finding and watching. I recommend it. I’m happy to skip this Emma Stone-helmed reboot since Hunter was so great in this one already.

I am *here* for this observation.

Great catch.

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know that.

Totally apropos for May the 4th as well, so kudos.

If that’s the case, you might want to skip it or wait to see it later - a lot of the sex/rape stuff, while not graphic, can be hard to watch. It was hard for me. I still really wanted to see the series so I powered through it. mazzieD described it well. I do love that it’s not GoT-level sex, at least not yet (I just…
